This is a great location within walking distance of temples, palace, and khaosan road. A few hundred feet are several small restaurants with amazing food and great price. Food carts where locals eat and small bakery nearby.
This was wife's birthday trip and host had nice bottle of wine waiting for us. She also arranged a great dinner at rooftop restaurant on the river across from Wat Arun.
We felt safe the entire time and was never concerned when walking down alley to the house. Used google maps and was able to find some great coffee shops within 5 minute walk. These were not on any main street and felt safe.
